  June 13, 2013

  It was a tender dream. We were standing on the platform, waiting for a water ride. You were to my right. I leaned into you and closed my eyes. my face felt the warmth of your jacket and my shoulders felt your weight giving. I nestled closer to your neck, thinking you felt like home.…

  I struggle to pen the details though memory is perfected and sentiment heightened. I see you and retell your entrance into this world daily. Expectedly, you came but in a much unexpected way.

   "The difference between hope and despair is a different way of telling stories from the same facts" - Alain de Botton That last entry and last week in general, was quite the test. For two days, Mya and I found ourselves slipping back into old habits filled with texts, winks, laugh...

• Gold Dust

  October 2, 2012

   As I was listening to Tori’s Gold Dust yesterday, it took me back to the first time I visited you in London. We were laying in your living room in each other’s arms with blankets twisted on the floor. I couldn’t stop touching you, couldn’t stop running my fingers ove...
